It is entirely possible that the Sketch is before the hole in the history tree, while the MH CB Feature is after it.. So when you edit the sketch, it basically rolls back to before the hole. I would assume that in a non-flat tree setup, if you placed something before a feature with an absorbed sketch, that something would automatically be placed before both the feature AND the sketch.

Does anybody have and experience and or best practices in setting up a tablet of pc based floor accessible system to look at drawings, query models and access associated engineering data? I took a look at flatter files. It looks interesting.

I teach a sophomore level mechanical engineering CAD class using Solidworks. I created a part for a quiz and saw that a couple of students were getting the same "wrong" answer for the part mass. When I looked more closely at the issue I realized that the variation was a result of modeling technique.

I think you'll have to change your base flange to where it does not include the face you're cutting through and manually insert an edge flange. Jive Software Version: 2018.10.0.1_jx, revision: 20181102150941.22e8dc7.release_2018.10.0-jx

So I've been playing around with the wing design for my RC and I'm now faced with this issue. If you looked at this picture, the wing and the wingtip are not intersecting perfectly. Is there anything in the set up that I need to be aware of to make it the intersection complete without gap?

I may be losing my mind. I've been back and forth with our Solidworks Support provider trying to figure this one out. This is what I'm almost certain I have been able to do for ages now. Insert a Geo-tolerance onto a diameter dimension as shown in the first screenshot below.

Why...does SolidWorks, when I initiate a cut, more often than not go away from the part and give me the "intended cut does not intersect the model?? If the software knows where the model is, why doesn't it default to the valid direction??

Before I started at this position someone created this part by modeling it - not as a sheet metal part. There is a model created for the bent part and another model of the flattened part. I don't have a lot of experience with SW sheet metal and I am trying to create the part as a sheet metal part. My problem is the 20 degree jog.

Can't open Solidworks file from Treehouse When I was using Treehouse 2017 I was able to open solidworks files from treehouse. With treehouse 2018 I get the following message when I try to open a solidworks file from Treehouse 2018.

Hi everyone. I have been using draftisght for about a year now and recently started having a problem with editing text boxes. When I double click on a textbox to edit the text draftisight auto zooms in on the textbox. Then when I click outside the textbox it auto zooms back out.

I have made a linear pattern in a part, at a assembly mode and i have made a equation for the instances but the SW tell me that i have an error .Can you tell me anyone where is the problem? ,and how can i fix it? .

SWIFT = SolidWorks International Forum Team How many times do you see a great thread get trashed or hijacked for various reasons and I'll take the "Stand" and say I'm the worst for doing that.. So when I'm acting stupid tell me to trash it here, get it?
